Need a database with your phone?

In one of our recent podcasts we interviewed Rick Hillegas from the Apache Derby project (also known as JavaDB). JavaDB is a compact, easy-to-use, feature-rich relational database that runs on platforms supporting Java 1.4 and later.

We in the Mobile & Embedded Community frequently get asked about database support for Java ME. Well, with the release of JavaDB 10.1 with JSR 169 (JDBC API) the Java ME CDC/FP stack is now fully supported. That means phoneME Advanced and JavaDB are a perfect match.

Check it out! Here: JavaDB (or Derby), and here: phoneME Advanced

• John Embretsen of Sun's Java DB team has created a thorough wiki page on using Derby on Java ME platforms. He also shows how to test Derby with IBM's J9 and Sun's phoneME implementations. Another good place for information is Mayuresh Nirhali's weblog on "JavaDB on JavaME."
